What prevents people from fitting Top Fuel engines into normal daily driver cars, other than cost? It would seem relatively straightforward to swap a top fuel engine into a fox-body or similar and get 20k hp out of a street car

do you want to rebuild your engine every 5 meters?
>>16818517
I wonder?
Emissions would be a breeze, the modifications required to accommodate it would be all legal of course. The reliability would still even be better then a used Audi too.

No it wouldn't (depending on the state)
And Hahaha haha haha no

yeah honestly that might be a dumb idea, you'd have to swap in a new top fuel engine at least every 50 kilometers.

the government frowns upon spewing gallons of methanol out of your exhaust
also, most street car chassis would tear themselves apart from the stress of acceleration

Common sense

50km
A TF engine turns over 600 times in a 1/4 mile run and gets rebuilt after every run.
Don't think a rebuild after every 1/4 mile is OK for most folks, even if you did have a dedicated crew that could knock it out in an hour or less.
You could slap a normal car body onto a top fuel chassis but not the other way around. Top fuel engines are capable of idling and the occasional throttle blip without melting down. If you gave it some more steering angle you could theoretically idle to the grocery store and back without a rebuild.

Literally everything that makes the tires move AND the tires would have to get replaced.
